TMUX: Move to named window


I already configured some keyboard shortcuts for myself in TMUX, but is there a way to quickly switch to a window by name and not by number? So each window has a name e.g. home. When I want to switch to another window by number, I use this shortcut: Ctrl-b number. But I can't do the same with names, e.g. Ctrl-b home.

How can I configure shortcut keys to do this? Is it even possible?

Thank you, because I can't find anything about this in the TMUX manuals.


Solution

  • Okay, I found the solution. I found it in this blog post Tmux the terminal multiplexer.

    The shortcut is Ctrl-b f name. This is a shortcut for the find-window options.
